Simulate MCTS AI vs Baseline AI

To Configure the board and number of games use the below command
Run: python .\src\bot_simulate.py {board_config} {number_of_games}
Valid values for board_config are 8 & 10

The following command will run 8x8 board for 50 games
Run: python .\src\bot_simulate.py 8 50

Simulate MCTS + NN AI vs MCTS AI

To Configure the board and number of games use the below command
Run: python .\src\treenn_vs_tree.py {board_config} {number_of_games}
Valid values for board_config are 8 & 10

The following command will run 8x8 board for 50 games
Run: python .\src\treenn_vs_tree.py 8 50
